BURIDAN: Extension of SNLP that models probabilistic 
              conditional outcomes.
areas/planning/systems/buridan/
This directory contains BURIDAN, an extension of SNLP which breaks
free from the tortuous chains of STRIPS-style operators by modeling
probabilistic, conditional outcomes.  Whereas classical planners'
primitive is of the form "Generate a plan that provably achieves goal
G", BURIDAN responds to requests of the form "Generate a plan that,
with probability at least tau, will achieve goal G".
It also includes the VCR graphical plan browser, which requires CLIM.
